Abstract

A wireless device receives radio resource control messages including pathloss reference indicators for sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets of a first cell. Each SRS resource set includes SRS resources, each identified by a respective SRS resource identifier, and is identified by a respective SRS resource set identifier. Each of the SRS resource set is associated with a respective pathloss reference indicator, of the pathloss reference indicators, that indicates: a cell identifier identifying a pathloss reference cell, and a RS identifier identifying a pathloss RS. SRSs are transmitted, via SRS resources of a first SRS resource set of the SRS resource sets, with a transmission power determined based on a first pathloss RS of a first pathloss reference cell. The first pathloss RS and the first pathloss reference cell are indicated by a first pathloss reference indicator, of the pathloss reference indicators, associated with the first SRS resource set.

Claims (76)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters comprising pathloss reference indicators for sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets of a first cell, wherein:

each SRS resource set of the SRS resource sets is identified by a respective SRS resource set identifier and comprises SRS resources, wherein each SRS resource of the SRS resources is identified by a respective SRS resource identifier; and

each SRS resource set is associated with a respective pathloss reference indicator, of the pathloss reference indicators, indicating:

a cell identifier identifying a pathloss reference cell; and

a reference signal (RS) identifier identifying a pathloss RS; and

transmitting, via SRS resources of a first SRS resource set of the SRS resource sets in the first cell, SRSs with a transmission power determined based on a first pathloss RS of a first pathloss reference cell, wherein the first pathloss RS and the first pathloss reference cell are indicated by a first pathloss reference indicator, of the pathloss reference indicators, associated with the first SRS resource set.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first pathloss reference cell comprises at least one of:

a primary cell;

the first cell; or

a second cell different from the first cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a command indicating the transmission of the SRSs of the first SRS resource set.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the command comprises at least one of:

an RRC message;

a medium access control control element (MAC CE); or

a downlink control information (DCI).

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the SRSs are transmitted based on the command comprising an SRS request indicator indicating a first SRS resource set identifier identifying the first SRS resource set.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS resource sets comprise:

the first SRS resource set associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index identifying a first group of coresets; and

a second SRS resource set associated with a second coreset pool index identifying a second group of coresets.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a coreset, of the first group of coresets and the second group of coresets, is associated with first parameters comprising:

a coreset index identifying the coreset; and

a coreset pool index of a group of coresets in which the coreset belongs, wherein the coreset pool index is one of the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the coreset is further associated with second parameters comprising at least one of:

a frequency resource indication; and

a time domain duration indication.

9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising receiving a control command, via a first coreset, indicating the transmission of the SRSs.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising determining the first SRS resource set, from the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set, based on:

the receiving the control command via the first coreset;

the first coreset being associated with the first coreset pool index; and

the first coreset pool index being associated with the first SRS resource set.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising configuration parameters comprising pathloss reference indicators for sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets of a first cell, wherein:

each SRS resource set of the SRS resource sets is identified by a respective SRS resource set identifier and comprises SRS resources, wherein each SRS resource of the SRS resources is identified by a respective SRS resource identifier; and

each SRS resource set is associated with a respective pathloss reference indicator, of the pathloss reference indicators, indicating:

a cell identifier identifying a pathloss reference cell; and

a reference signal (RS) identifier identifying a pathloss RS; and

transmit, via SRS resources of a first SRS resource set of the SRS resource sets in the first cell, SRSs with a transmission power determined based on a first pathloss RS of a first pathloss reference cell, wherein the first pathloss RS and the first pathloss reference cell are indicated by a first pathloss reference indicator, of the pathloss reference indicators, associated with the first SRS resource set.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first pathloss reference cell comprises at least one of:

a primary cell;

the first cell; or

a second cell different from the first cell.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive a command indicating the transmission of the SRSs of the first SRS resource set.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the command comprises at least one of:

an RRC message;

a medium access control control element (MAC CE); or

a downlink control information (DCI).

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the SRSs are transmitted based on the command comprising an SRS request indicator indicating a first SRS resource set identifier identifying the first SRS resource set.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the SRS resource sets comprise:

the first SRS resource set associated with a first control resource set (coreset) pool index identifying a first group of coresets; and

a second SRS resource set associated with a second coreset pool index identifying a second group of coresets.

17. The wireless device of claim 16 , wherein a coreset, of the first group of coresets and the second group of coresets, is associated with first parameters comprising:

a coreset index identifying the coreset; and

a coreset pool index of a group of coresets in which the coreset belongs, wherein the coreset pool index is one of the first coreset pool index and the second coreset pool index.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the coreset is further associated with second parameters comprising at least one of:

a frequency resource indication; and

a time domain duration indication.

19. The wireless device of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

receive a control command, via a first coreset, indicating the transmission of the SRSs; and

determine the first SRS resource set, from the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set, based on:
